Cadbury's factory, Marlbrook
The factory lies to the east of the A49 and is positioned between the A road and the River Lugg.
The factory became infamous in 2006 as an outbreak of salmonella caused the recall of over a million chocolate bars. The factory processes 180 million litres of fresh milk, 56,000 tonnes of sugar and 13,000 tonnes of cocoa liquor into chocolate crumb which is then transported to other sites at Bournville, near Birmingham, and Somerdale, near Bristol, where it is blended with cocoa butter and turned into milk chocolate.

Cadbury's, Marlbrook
This was a milk processing plant in the 1960s and they bought our milk (from a Jersey herd). It may have a different role today, but the really amazing thing given the massive deindustrialisation of the past 35 years is that it is still here.
The buildings used to stand out from a long distance, but are now well screened, with a big poplar plantation to the north. Another big change is that the A49 is a lot closer due to the building of the A49 Leominster bypass.
